CAPTAIN AND MASTER makes his return to a course that he would probably consider a happy hunting ground He has a solid course and distance record and on that latest effort in a feature, looks hard to beat here. TRISTFUL won his only start at this course and his handicap debut was most impressive over this trip, when running second. He clearly has plenty more to come and looks to be in front of the handica- pper here. SEATTLE SKYLINE has his peak run today and he is going in the right direction. He has impr- oved with the blinkers and should be cherry ripe for a big run today. AFFRANCHI drops back in trip af- ter a disappointing effort last time. He has a much better record over this trip and on that penultim- ate effort, looks a big contender with Ferraris back in the irons.
